Blind Justice

they murder
plunder and loot
bringing shame to our black skin
friends of the man on top

they say our land is his
contrary to the constitution
is he a monarch now!?

justice is blind
for she ignored to wear glasses
now she can't see anything

my generation suffers from ignorance
my black sisters love the white skin
and hate their own.
